# Transforming the Shipping Industry Through Technology

## Breaking Through in 2022

Prior to the pandemic, only 64% of less-than-truckload (LTL) and 28% of truckload (TL) shippers had adopted a transportation management system (TMS) or technology solution, according to a 2019 report from *FreightWaves*. This global event and subsequent supply chain disruptions raised shippers’ awareness of their transportation networks and prompted more companies to invest in technology in 2020, says Gartner.

However, a May 2020 survey of 350 shippers conducted by Peerless Research Group (PRG) showed that nearly two-thirds, or 63%, of the study respondents currently use a TMS, are in the process of implementing a TMS, or are evaluating or planning to implement a TMS within the next 24 months.

While many say they want to adopt a technology solution to manage their freight, the numbers show little movement despite challenges brought on by COVID-19. With the proven capabilities and the efficiency and visibility technology provides, why haven’t more shippers implemented a technology solution into their operations?

In our latest guide, we explore what shippers really want and need from a technology solution.
